Well, ask it.
The question for the Leader of the House is: with the drawing from the ballot of the Autonomous Sanctions Bill, which has previously been before the Parliament, does the Government have any intention to expedite the passage of that bill?
The Government has no intention to expedite the passage of that bill. It was previously a Government bill that was discharged.
